Under the plan, Scripps will take over RLTV’s carriage agreements, and put Newsy’s existing programming, currently distributed OTT, on the network, the company said. Those carriage agreements reach roughly 26 million subscribers, Scripps said.

Though Newsy cut its teeth as an OTT-distributed offering, it has also locked in some more traditional carriage agreements previously with MVPDs such as Cincinnati Bell and Layer3 TV, as well as newer virtual MVPDs that include Sling TV, Pluto TV, as well as a new TV streaming service from CenturyLink.
